Last two years I only watched the Cowboys and the Superbowl, this year None, Nada, Niet, no Cowboys no NFL.

If the colleges are behaving like true Americans I will watch some, if not nope. I will try and get some high school Friday night live in,

I quit watching the NFL a few years ago. Don’t miss it at all. Never did watch pro baseball because it bores me to death. Same with the NBA. Golf bores me mostly, but I will watch the Masters. As for women’s pro basketball, I mistakenly thought they didn’t do that anymore, so you can see how little I care. Hockey, nope. indy car racing I’ll watch sometimes. NASCAR, for years I only watched the Daytona 500, but they are pushing me away with their policies. I didn’t watch Joey Chesnut defend his wiener eating title.

I guess I’m down to high school and pro tennis, and college football. If I lived in a small town that had serious high school football, I’d watch that, but Groesbeck plays loser football.

So, what do I do? Mostly fix stuff here on the ranch. I hunt when it isn’t so hot, and I am doing a good bit more crappie fishing.

With so many sports being delayed and flat out cancelled NFL TV views will be at an all time high in my opinion. Part die hard NFL fans and a few new viewers just watching to see how the anthem plays out. I'll skip the anthem protest garbage and watch 60 minutes of football as usual.

When I got on my lease 7 years ago I stopped watching sports and honestly I don’t miss it. All this extra stuff going on right now just confirms I’m not really missing anything.

My High School - Midland Robert E Lee Rebels - is looking to change their name, colors and mascot. The school had it all covered - Song (Dixie), Flag (Confederate), Name etc. Playing multiple sports there in school in the 70's, we were all one team regardless of color. Lee and Permian were the original Friday Night Lights - wasn't unusual to see 25,000 people in the stadium for the rivalry. One side of me wants to keep it and the other side just let it go.

Meh. As someone who was an athlete - never could understand the obsession with watching professional sports. Watched some collegiate back when I was in college or had friends playing, but after that I've had zero to little interest in it. More of a social thing and certainly not exciting watching grown men compete.

Much rather spend my time outside.

You know some collegiate level teams are gonna do the same...so no more college ball in your house?

My main concern is that it's gonna' mess up my deer season. I have 5 cousins who hunt my place. I'll hunt the opener but I never really get serious about it until December. By then they're shot out and/or more into football and I have the place to myself. I'm afraid if they give up on football they'll figure out how productive late season can be.

I didn't quit watching when they wanted to or because they changed names.
I quit watching because they were disrespecting the Flag that a multitude of Brave men and women fought and died to keep free.
That's why.

What about College level sports when the NCAA starts making schools change their mascots?

And what about when it happens to your local high schools?

something tells me they could change the name of America and youd be ok with it?

First off Mike Trout will not do that because he has class. In the event he does take a knee during the anthem then I will lose all respect for him just like I did Brett Favre (my favorite QB of all time) after his comments comparing Kaperdick to Pat Tillman. I know very little about Upton and don't follow him so I don't care. Trout is the only current MLB player I pay any attention to at the moment.

As far as boycotting MLB is concerned......if they promote that culture like NFL is doing then yes I will be done with them too. If a handful of players take a knee then so be it. I watch very few baseball games anyway. Yes I do collect baseball cards but pretty much everything I collect is retired players anyway regardless of the sport they played. I use to collect a few current NFL players but I am proud to say I quit buying current year production cards when the NFL started entertaining anti-cop and anti-American BS a few years ago. Football cards are licensed by the NFL now so I refuse to support them in anyway.

Collegiate level stuff has never interested me in the least bit. If I have ever watched more than half a game of collegiate level ball I sure as heck don't remember it. It could go away forever and I would never miss it.

So now let me ask you a question(s):
Where do you draw the line and say enough is enough?
Is it when they start burning the flag on the field?
Is it when they refuse to honor our flag at all?
Or is Football just something that means far more to you than any disrespect a league can show our flag, our country, and everything we stand for and so many have died for?
